Comment on Hula hoops for fun, exercise, Xmas gifts by Terri Robbins

Steve, I had no clue you were a hooper! One of my favorite women is a “hoop teacher” by profession and travels all over the world teaching, and she and I used to go to Memphis in May together every year (until I discovered the IBC in 2004…. the year I met you & Spoonman!).

Would love to talk more with you about hooping….. just wish you’d make it back to Memphis again!

Much Peace & Love to you, my friend,
Terri

Wonder if it was the same guy? Nice of you to pay his bill…maybe you could have given him a spoons lesson so he’s have something to do in jail.
Didn’t realized you play spoons, Terri — would like to hear you sometime! Cheers, Chezz

Steve, this is uncanny. I play spoons, and taught a girlfriend I hadn’t heard from in 9 years, and she sent me a link to gals playing banjo & spoons. I wanted to share my experience with you & Spoonman and came across this article! That time at IBC 2004 I was at Denny’s restaurant eating “breakfast” around 2am with Big Gus & the Bombers when the blues lights started flashing and the cops were arresting a guy trying to skip his bill. I approached the police and asked if I paid the bill would they release him? They agreed. Then I went back to my table and the band said, “Terri, he was probably wanting a free meal and warm place to sleep (jail).” Still not sure if I was “paying it forward or backward”. hmmm…

Comment on Talent Is Overrated notes by Ruben

One great thing that I felt that is lacking behind these books is the MARKETING and the PUBLICITY these “Great Performers” recieved knowing that there are a lot of people out there, that are way better. The team and the vision they have for themselves and the imagery they sell for others can have an effect on people.

Also they lack strongly on the TEAM they have caring abour them. This books talks about only about ONE single person with planned practice, although it talks about coorporations, it doesn’t deepened strongly on the fact that these great performers have an entire team behind them.

If the 10 year rule is strong enough, then at 40 years anyone (that have more than 10 years working on a planned basis) could be a great performer, when we already know it is not true.

So the book, is great for having a partial view of what great performance means and have scientific approach which is good, but in the reality, not everyone was born is the talent to perform it, not even working extremely hard

Cheers
Rubens

Hi Josh! That’s cool that you live near my mom. I visit Charleston at least once a year and offer group and individual lessons whenever I’m there. Sorry you missed the other ones but hope to see you next time (probably this November)! In the meantime, I will email you the name of one of my students there who might offer lessons. I really believe the best way to get on the country-blues path is with a good live teacher. Cheers, SC
